Representation Summary:

Fulbourn would be a tranquil and picturesque place to live were it not for traffic and parked vehicles. Much could be done to make the High Street area safer, quieter and more attractive as suggested in Chapter 8. 'The winding loop formed by Cow Lane and Pierce Lane' (Chapter 7) needs to be considered in its entirety so that improvement in one area do not have a detrimental effect in other areas.

Fulbourn would be a tranquil and picturesque place to live were it not for traffic and parked vehicles. Much could be done to make High Street area safer, quieter and more attractive as suggested in Chapter 8. Cars have been allowed to dominate the area. More creative ways need to be found to enable businesses to flourish whilst restoring the character of the heart of the village.
The winding loop formed by Cow Lane and Pierce Lane needs to be considered in its entirety so that improvements in one area do not have a detrimental effect in other areas. As with the High Street, this whole area needs improvement to encourage low speeds and respectful driving' particularly on Pierce Lane. It should be noted that issues raised in the Fulbourn Plan of 2009 were never acted upon.
